21 if you count me (video)

It's been a while, but as I remember, they are always on. I'm guessing there may be a way to power them down...but not sure.

@@ZLew02 I called Alti-2 .... They told me that there is no power down feature. It basically just shuts off.

@@Naldo411 Again, it's been a while, but as I remember a charge lasted me a few months at a time. They were easy, in that you didn't have to turn them on or off or worry about the battery dying. Just charge now and then, put them on, and jump.

I'm not totally sure I understand your question. Do you mean exiting from the camera step (like the guy at 2:09)? I guess there is always a danger...but in this case not really. On some airplanes it is more risky than others, especially those with low, close tails, and high exit speeds. Caravans have a really low and close tail. Some king airs do as well, and their prop blast can be brutal. Camera people traditionally have not had any problems with hitting the tail, but for a while wing suiters would. If they jump "up" and or grab a lot of air with their wingsuits (or camera wings) it can put you dangerously close to the horizontal stabilizer (tail). This is a twin otter, and the tail is high, and a long way back. I'm sure it's possible to hit it, but it would not be easy. I have a few thousand exits from this plane, on that step, and have never gotten close to it. On our old caravan, I had to keep in mind to exit back and or down, not up/back. I hope this helps, if that's not what your asking let me know.

@@ZLew02 yes sir that was exactly what am asking about

Hello. Reply with, or send me a dm with your business email address and we can talk there. Your KZfaq profile has nothing to make me think you are real. Thanks!

Yes, that's yk

I agree they are more realistic, but I don't think most folks want to listen to a video full of wind hissing. Sometimes I'll edit in a few seconds of wind noise on opening, landing, or on climb out, but nobody wants to listen to 4 mins of wind hiss.

@@ZLew02 Then , I'm nobody!

Not unless I need to

It all depends on how you look at it I guess. In general I'd say it's very safe. I've been doing it for more than 20 years, and have thousands of skydives. Is it as safe as sitting at home? No. Is it as safe as many other common sports... no. The fact is you are getting in a small airplane, flying at over 100mph for ~20 mins, then jumping out of that airplane, falling to earth at over 120 mph, and using strings and nylon to save your life. Even under parachute, you are still flying/falling to the ground. There are many opportunities for things to go wrong or to get hurt. I'd say it's much safer than most people think it is, but if you are looking for a sport that has no chance of getting hurt or killed, this isn't the one for you.

It's only time, by brother Sal

True! 16 way exits can be pretty much chaos. Some teams wear pads to protect from injury on exit. I was one one jump wit ha premi, but it wasn't a pin on the door.

2.1 . It's listed about 10 seconds in if you need it.

Totally

Looking for this comment, what was that about, surely bit dodgy 😮

Actually on a jump at Elsinore when a group was going out; guy stopped jumper and asked "did you forget something", pointing to his rig on the floor.

men wearing dresses.........

True. Been there!

You should see the ones at skydive Arizona! It's about the size of a deck of cards, and at the middle point of where the step is in this video.

Valid concern! Some skydiving aircraft are possible to hit the horizontal stabilizer of exit, if you do not exit correctly. This plane isn't one of those planes. I have never heard of a strike on an otter. Even then , he strikes I have heard of were not good for the plane or person, but not fatal.

@@ZLew02 its exactly what i meant the planes horizontal stabilizer not a pilot to know what it is called but daim looks painfull upon contact at that rate of pull and push jump out of the plane and speed of them skydiver wouldnt look prity

@@GoxtA the real risk is planes with low stabilizers like carvans and king airs, and wing suits. If a wing suit jumper opens his wings too fast, they can hit the tail. Usually they are trained to leave with their wings collapsed for the first second or two to avoid this. Everyone else.. 1 second of freefall puts you 10 feet below the plane. Hard to get even close to the tail

Generally 16 way breakoff is around 4500 feet (500 or so above common 4 way breakoff) and people deploy around 3K.

only person with on purpose vertical separation is me, as video.

Helmet scene also looks amazing, you can see when he blinks he's like: oh yeah right, the visor. And then you start to see that smirk in his face laughing about the silly situation. The whole situation is amazing. And that exit count was sublime too with the leg

Sure thing!

Full disclosure, I am now sponsored by L&B. I jump a pro track 2 and ares 2, and love them both.

@@ZLew02 Ares 2 is in the mix of possibilities too so I'll keep that in mind.
